v1.c6.s29.155
"The choice of a healthy situation is of the first importance : it should be on high ground, neither subject to fogs nor rains ; its aspects should be neither violently hot nor intensely cold, but temperate in both respects. The neighbourhood of a marshy place must be avoided."
(Ibid. Book I, chap. iv).
